Ans: C
Feedback:
By 3 to 4 months, infants begin to develop eye/hand coordination; by 5 to 6 months many children have been introduced to solid foods. As gross motor function develops around 7 to 9 months, children can hold a spoon or drink from a cup with help. At 9 to 12 months, children can usually pick up finger food and feed themselves, and hold and drink from a bottle.
